Ubisoft support is worthless. Lost access to one of my two uplay accounts. Instead of verifiying me as a user and grant me access to an account that has been inactive since 2010 - they told me to go buy the game one more time. Ubisoft/Uplay the wannabe apple-gestapo.

I loved this game and played it to death when it first came out. Recently updated my graphic card and wanted to see how the game runs with everything maxed out. Avter 2 hours of patching and remembering my uplay account info uplay finally decided to crash and keep crashing on me. Love the game. HATE HATE HATE uplay

The game itself is OK. It's not fantastic, and unless it's on deal off, it's probabally not worth the hefty price-tag. Especially considering the huge amount of DLC that it tries to drag you into buying.However this is only the peak of many problems. For one, it's buggy, or was when I last played it - I haven't had the chance in a long time now because ubisoft STILL hasn't verified that I have the game on my account. In fact I only write this review because they SHUT DOWN the account that owned this game.I like ubisoft games, but their 'U-play' is just a pitiful, buggy mess that does nothing to hamper piracy and only saves them money by getting their crazier customers to buy their games twice.

I honestly think steam should pull these sorts of games from steam until ubisoft either removes U-play or at the very least makes it usable and not this intergral part of the game.
